Gandhiji.

Dear fellow, I respect your opinions and I even understand your hatred for the man. May be he had committed some sacrifices that weren't necessary, may be everything he did didn't turn out to be for the betterment of India and may be India would have been a different nation today if not for some of his principles, but you can't deny the fact that he was solely responsible for the independence that we enjoy today.

Whatever it is, I still respect Gandhiji for what he has done for India. Hats off! :)
